**Short Summary:**
A good teenage story about finding yourself and finding love. I’m so happy to see a WLW graphic novel that involves a young transwoman - feels so rare. It really displays the things that young trans girls may encounter when they come out in high school. The book is a quick read but the love story is really well done in the short span of time. I really loved Annie as a character and the effect she and BeBe had one each other in terms of growth. Thumbs up from me.
